6 Claims.

'I'his invention relates to new and useful improvements in a preformed show-kerchief.

The invention proposes the construction of an article as mentioned which is characterized by, a at, sheet material pocket having its mouth opening at the bottom, a preformed kerchief mounted on the top portion of said pocket and extending upwards, anda novel arrangement for supporting the pocket in the breast pocket of a jacket, or other suitable garment. The showkerchief is particularly intended for displays of garments.

Another object of the invention resides in the provision of a rigid support engaged in the pocket previously mentioned and extending downwards from the mouth thereof and adapted to engage in the breast pocket of a jacket for supporting the show-kerchief.-

Still further the invention proposes a modiiied arrangement in which the support is adjustable so that the `show-kerchief may be supported at various heights in the pocket of the jacket. y

Another object of the invention resides in the construction of an article as mentioned which is simple and durable and which may be manufactured and sold at a reasonable cost.

For further comprehension of the invention, and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will be had to the following description and accompanying drawing, and to the apappended claims in lwhich the various novel features of the invention are more particularly set forth.

In the accompanying drawing forming a material part of this disclosure:

Fig. l is a fragmentary elevational view of a jacket provided with a preformed show-kerchief constructed in accordance with this invention.

Fig. 2 is an elevational view of the preforme show-kerchief, illustrated per se.

Fig. 3 is a horizontal sectional view taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 4 is a vertical sectional view taken on the line 4-4 of Fig. 2.

Fig. 5 is an elevational view of a preformed show-kerchiefconstructed in accordance with a modified form of this invention.

Fig. 6 is a fragmentary enlarged horizontal sectional view taken on the line 6--6 of Fig. 5.

Fig. 7 is a perspective view of one of the rigid sheets shown in Figs. 5 and 6.

The preformed show-kerchief in accordance with this invention includes a flat sheet material pocket I0 having its mouth opening Ilia at yto the bottom. This pocket is formed from a sheet of cloth material which is vbent at a vertical central area. along the side lub so that there are adjacent layers II)c and Ind. These layers are secured together at their free sides with stitches II. A preformed kerchief I2 is mounted on the top portion of the said pocket I0 and extends upwards. This kerchief is formed from several pieces of cloth I2, I2b, I 2c and I2!i folded to have pointed portions extended upwards and their edges are preferably hand rolled, hemmed or hemstitched, or rolled and embroidered to produce a neat finish. This preformedkerchief has its bottom edge portions extended into the top of the pocket I0 and illiedly secured in position by a line of stitches A rigid support I4 is engaged into the pocket I0 and extends downwards from the mouth Illa thereof. This support comprises a sheet of cardboard, or other similar rigid material. Preferably the' corners I4n are rounded. This support board may be held in the material pocket I0, at any set position by a clip fastener or pin as shown, or by any other means.

4The preformed vshow-kerchief is adapted to engage into the breast pocket I5 of a jacket I6 or other similar garment. The rigid support I4 engages into the bottom of the pocket and supports the preformed kerchief I2 at a suitable elevation, so that 'the pointed portions thereof project from the pocket.

In Figs. 5 and 7 inclusive, a modied form of the invention has been disclosed which distinguishes from the prior form in the fact that means is provided for holding the preformed kerchief at various elevated positions in the pocket of the jacket. The preformed kerchief distinguishes from the prior form merely in the details of the rigid support I4'. Thisrigid support'is formed from a pair of adjacent rigid sheets Hb and IIC. These sheets are provided with a plurality of apertures I6 arranged in vertical lines. These apertures preferably are equally spaced from each other.

Means is provided for holding the pair of rigid sheets Hb and Il in relatively extended positions, and includes snap fasteners Il or other fastening elements mounted upon the pocket l0 and cooperative through aligned openings I6. The fasteners I1 are mounted upon the front and rear walls I0c and Ind of the pocket I0. The sections of the fasteners may be engaged with each other as illustrated in Fig. 6 to hold the rigid sheets Mb and I4 in relative positions. When desired, the sections of the fasteners Il may be pulled apart and then the sheets IIb and I4.c are free and may be shifted upwards or downwards relative to each other. They may be secured in new positions by engaging the fasteners I1 through aligned apertures I6 of said sheets.

In other respects this form of the invention is identical to the prior form and like parts may be recognized by like reference numerals.

This form of the invention is usedy in the identical way as the prior described form. However, if it is desired to have the preformed kerchief extended further upwards, or downwards in the jacket pocket, it is merely necessary to adjust the adjacent rigid sheets Hb and HC relative to each other.

While I have illustrated and described the preferred embodiments of my invention, it is to be understood that I do not limit myself to the precise constructions herein disclosed and the right is reserved to all changes and modifications coming within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent is:
